The most alarming stat for me about DNA testing is a study done in
2001
where the 46 largest DNA testing labs in the U.S. were surveyed.
(Study
done by the Blood Bank Association.) The results showed nearly 1/3 of
men
taking DNA tests were excluded as the father of the child they had
tested
against their DNA profile. Those results show me a huge number of men
have
a very high confidence rate about the validity of DNA test results to
determine paternity fraud and there should be no reason of fear taking
the
test - unless you a pretty darn sure you are the father and trying to
avoid
getting stuck with CS payments.

Many of those men probably simply didn't know if they were the father or
not and wanted to find out.

Since the reasons for the paternity test is not tracked it is hard to come
to that conclusion. However, there has been an increase in "mother not
tested" paternity tests since publicity about paternity fraud has been
increasing and men have recognized not getting tested can result in years
of
CS payments for children that are not theirs.

A better conclusion would be that in 2/3 of the cases tested, the mother
selected the right man as the father and in 1/3 of the case tested the
mother, either intentionally or unintentionally, named the wrong man as
the
father. And in 100% of the cases where the mother named the wrong man as
the father, the mother always knew there was a possibility another man
could
be the father but she made a conscious decision to conceal information
about
the other possibilities.

Unless, of course, she was a "Virgin Mary".
